Be honest how many times have you thought about just not cooking tonight and having a meal out? I never need an excuse to say no to cooking. Especially with the hot weather we are having. There is nothing nicer than having meal cooked for you and staying cool in an air conditioned restaurant. If you love going out I am going to share with you How To Get Rewards For Eating Out With SquareMeal Rewards.
I do love eating out, usually these days it is just family meals out for birthdays, or a celebration. Today we are celebrating C getting Distinctions across all of her exams. So what better way to celebrate and earn points as well for more treats along the way. For me getting rewarded does help in my decision making. I get points when I go shopping, or from my favourite coffee shops. So why not get rewarded when dining out.

What I Like About SquareMeal
I am sure I am not the only one who has supermarket rewards for the weekly shop, or coffee shop awards where you can get free drinks. I usually use mine and rarely look at the points balance but do love the option for free or discounted goods. With SquareMeal you can do the same, once you start to earn they will start to accumulate to offer you your rewards of your choice.

You need to click through the link and search what is near to you
The Little Scarlet Door in Soho is definitely on my to-visit list!
The search functionality is poor. If you select “vegan only” you expect to be presented with vegan restaurants but that isn’t the case. Not worth my time.
I just did a search and put in vegan and it came up with a list of vegan restaurants
For example, The Old Bakery Devon is tagged as vegan only. The picture shows a chicken with a boiled egg on top. If you look at their Facebook you will see that they serve meals containing meat and fish. If I do a search on vegan only, I expect the restaurant to only serve vegan food.
I am not in Devon so have not searched there.
I have however just searched The Old Bakery and it does state
The Old Bakery offers modern Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes in a sharing style. Our extensive menu includes many vegetarian, vegan and gluten free dishes.
All our dishes are made in house so there are no hidden nasties. Our produce is sourced direct from grower on the continent as well as the best local fish, meat and vegetables.
They cater for vegans they do not say they are a totally vegan restaurant
Lunch at the Falcon Hotel in Bude, followed by a walk along the canal
Kitty Cafe – Nottingham … meooooooow! 🙂
I was surprised and delighted to see The Ferry Inn in Pembroke Dock was on the list as it is only down the road from me and we visit it often
